Beverly Hills Rhinoplasty an update by Beverly Hills Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon, Dr. Francis R Palmer, III: I feel the need to update my notes and thoughts about Rhinoplasty to share this story with all of you. Let me first preface this story with the hope and prayers that this never happens to you!

A lady called our office crying…sobing really. It seems that we saw her some time ago for what I believed to be a rather complicated Revision Rhinoplasty. As you know, I believe that Rhinoplasty is one, if not the, most technically difficult Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Procedures, bar none. Anyway, this poor lady is crying and begging for us to see her. It seems that she had her Rhinoplasty elsewhere with an outcome that made her very upset and wanted me to fix the problem. My staff had to gently explain to her that I would not be able to see her for some months and after that time, she’d have to be to re-evaluated to see if I felt that I could even do another Rhinoplasty Surgery. Remember, the rule is no more nasal surgery sooner than every 6 months…minimum, or the skin of the nose can sustain serious complications. We all feel terrible for this poor woman and wish her well for the next several months. Hopefully, I will be able to help her.

What’s the point of this story? If it’s not obvious, I will explain. Rhinoplasty is not unlike other Plastic and Cosmetiuc Surgery Procedures…you simply can’t just keep having them done until you happen to get it right. In fact, sometimes you only get one….shot…..so be sure to take your time, do your research on finding your Plastic and cosmetic Surgeon and DO NOT USE PRICE AS YOUR DECIDING FACTOR…EVER! If you can’t afford the best….simply do without. The cost of several Revision Rhinoplasties will far exceed the cost of a well experienced competent Rhinoplasty Surgeon. Enough said?
